'find a metaphor' poem.

Last night i came home late
I pulled into my parking space.

My head lights shown on a wish dandelion.
It stuck straight out of the ground
Front and center, my head lights emphasizing it's existance.

It was the most perfect dandelion I've ever seen.
The stem stood so tall
And the seeds made a purfect puff circle.

I stared at it for a few moments
It was staring right back at me
Almost taunting.

These were my thoughts that sped
Through my brain;

"Hmm, a wishy!
Im gonna get out and grab it!

....but what would i wish for??
....my life isn't ideal,
But I am happy with it.

....it's actually selfish to take a wish
When you can't even think of
Something to wish for.

....who even has a perfect life??
No one.

....but what is life
If you don't take the
Chances you are given??

....I don't actually think it's selfish
To take that wishy,

Actually I think it would be
Missing a great oppurtunity
If I did not take it."

So I stepped out of my car
(the car running still
I do not like being alone
in the dark)

And walked right up to
My wishy, and plucked it.

Still as perfect as it was
Bouncing over the grass two seconds before.

I held it up to my face and thought of
The one thing I would wish for ever, in life.

True love.
Yes, it's quite cliché and cheesy,
But so are poems.

But when I think of true love
I think that it would be truthfully in love with someone
And that person truely loves you in return.

"I wish I can find true love someday"
I said in my head.

Then I blew every last wish seed off that tall skinny stem
And they all went in different directions in the air
Going out to make my wish come true.

I turned off my car and hurried inside.
(I DO NOT like the dark)

I went straight to my bathroom to brush my teeth
When I noticed that one little wishy seed
Was stuck to my eyelashes!

I pulled it off and thought,
"Oh no!
One little wishy didn't make it,
It stuck to me, instead of going
Out with the other wishies
Now my wish will never come true!

That was when I realized
That this wish dandeliln was genius.

He just taught me a lesson
Or what I saw from it

True love, is in within.
You must love yourself first 
Before you can love another.

As well as you should work on yourself
Before you can bring
someone else into your life.

I was a little sad
A wishy was telling me
That I was living my life wrong.

But what really matters is
IT ALL COMES DOWN TO
WHAT LESSON YOU WANT
TO GET OUT OF WHAT YOU READ
IN LIFE. 

I hope you got what you needed to hear.
